Monday Night Wars: Putting off your homework to sit around and flip between USA and TNT for a few hours while eating snacks. Loved them both at the time.
What a time to be a fan I loved it I was a fan of both WCW and WWE it was great going into my school after Monday talking bout both and who would jump from either company
@@pezpowerproductions2602 that was a thing in WWE(or f at the time) as well tho. If your not a fan of a lot of title changes(like myself) Really an issue with the whole attitude era as a whole.
I don't know the monday night war would've lasted longer than 6 years for sure, if the midcard was pushed a bit more. WWF at the time was amazing TV it would've made monday night hard to not watch both companies.
I remember switching on both channels during commercial breaks just to watch which match was more interesting. Sometimes I record them and then watching it later.
I don't comment on a lot of stuff but this needs said. Your content and knowledge is amazing, I love the simplicity of the presentation and your objective opinion on all things wrestling. Keep up the good work I always look forward to tuning in!
@@derek-64 Eric's issue was he should of not gave Hogan all the pull towards the end and listened to Sting and Russo Nothing against Hogan he played the political card alot
A reminder to those who criticized Bischoff for gaining fame thru former WWE talent. Vince built his WWF thru raiding other prosperous Wrestling territories during the 80's.
@@brandonjacobs2373 Vince was definitely the one who ended the territory days. For whatever reason, they all caved instead of banding together, and fighting back.
The Monday Night Wars was must see in wrestling I was so lucky to witness this great time healthy competition brought out the best in both for any wrestling fan today they have to check out this time in wrestling
Everyone talks about what started the attitude era. Was it the KLIQ, the Montreal screwjob, austin 3:16 or dx. I suspect Eric Bischoff lit the fire while in wcw that caused the WWF Attitude Era.
Another AMAZING BIO! Bischoff was a genius & he had balls. No promoter went head to head with Vince like Eric did, & as you said here, he deserves a lot of credit for changing the landscape of wrestling during one of it's best eras. I always looked at his downfall similarly to Gotti's. He became drunk with power, & to a certain extent fell in love with himself, success-wise. Still, his legacy is set in stone with the greatest men in the business.
I remember switching from channel to channel. Sometimes I'd like WWF and sometimes WCW. But I mainly loved what WCW was doing with Sting and Hogan. The new darker style of their gimmick was awesome.
@Wrestling Bios....love your videos dude! Keep up the great work! It feels like you post almost every day!! Thanks for giving me something to watch every day!!!
You make the best videos man, theyre so well put together, articulate and informative..one of the best wrestling channels and one of the best youtube channels period.
It’s a shame Eric was too much of a “Yes man” to Hogan. If he had been willing to shoot down some of the ideas Hogan was trying to do and even let Hogan go by the end of 1997, he may had made better decisions.
Getting to see talents like Benoit, Malenko, Guerrero, Jericho, and Mysterio was such a treat. Those guys could outperform 99% of WWE's roster at the time, and were the in-ring equals of Michaels and Hart. I wish we had gotten to see all of them together in the same promotion. And, the facade of rasslin' was still somewhat believable (not all show biz and transparently staged like today). What a time to be alive!
The fact that, to this day i still get a little angry when Eric Bishoff is mentioned. Is proof of how well he sold hos character. Respect and credit where it's due. He definitely helped shaped the face of professional wrestling.
Eric came in and took WCW and wrestling as a whole to the next level. I remember being a kid wrestlers would come to our local mall to sign autographs. I got to go once after begging my nana for weeks because my mom said no. I got to get NWO Kevin Nash autograph, and I’m not exaggerating when I say we had to stand in line for over 2hrs. NWO was so popular at the time Nash brought out hundreds if not (thousands) of people. The 90s was different man and the top guys popularity was incredible
@Craig Adams but having them behind a wall made them special. And made me want to tune in on Monday cause my mom wouldn’t ever order a wrestling PPV back then. She might let me now though. Anyways the title changing hands every month also meant no build to a huge PPV event.
Bischoff rules. He broke the rules and succeeded where Vince McMannequin couldn’t dream. When I think of wrestling legends, 2 names come to mind: Hollywood Hogan and Eric Bischoff.
The NWO and Bischoff got me back into wrestling. For about 4 yrs I watched Nitro religiously. McMahon can thank Eric for the Attitude Era. If not for the competition, WWE would've been sht for a much longer time than it has been.
WCW along with the regional curcuits was some of the best wrestling of all time. Bischoff is an underground legend along with a few other notable promoters of dacades past.
That's what was great about what bischoff did he not only gave us nwo he brought in the high flying talents, he brought in the lightweight division a ground breaking feat, then he showcased new Japan and lucha talents and put them on the mainstream even during the nwo era in WCW , most American pro wrestling territories didn't have a focus on new Japan and lucha talents So many legends came from early 90s to NWO era WCW It also caused Vince to do the same Eric's influence on American pro wrestling is still felt And some work for promotions to this day l
Hey WB love your channel it’s ALWAYS excellent. I’d like to see Eric’s run in wwe if you can find the time, I know your super busy with RTW and other videos but I’d like to see bischoffs time in wwe because I’m too lazy to watch a bunch of old raw episodes and you have a gifted way of breaking everything down in 30 mins or less. Thanks for the content and keep em coming!👍
6:20 When Hogan signs onto WCW at Disney, Randy Hogan was in the audience for his real job as a reporter. I worked for Turner Broadcasting before the Monday Night Wars and we would go to Center Stage or the Omni Arena tor tapings (we got in free) .. it was a real fun show. Growing up in Detroit all we had was WWF at Cobo but I really enjoyed the WCW.
"Seeing as there's been like 3 DVD box-sets released based on "The best moments of Nitro" and the Monday Night Wars has had its own WWE Network series and a few books written about it, it would be crazy of me to get into the ins and outs of the monday night battles between WCW and the WWF" - Wrestling bios 2019. Not meant as a jab at you just thought it was funny to highlight. Keep doing the good work.
Thanks for showing Bischoff unbiased. So many people on RUclips hate on him for destroying WCW. Frankly, if he had gotten the tv deal and bought the company, I think they would still be around. His biggest mistake was holding the course during '99 when he should have zagged again rather than zigging. But that company would have never had the success it did if it wasn't for Eric. And he could have done it again, if there had not been so many factors behind the scenes working against him. I'm with Kevin Sullivan when he says there was some shady business going on with the company sell. WWF has made a fortune just off of DVD sells and it's airings of old WCW footage.
He really doesn't get the respect he deserves in the wrestling business his impact changed wrestling forever thanks to Eric we have live wrestling every week and a PPV each and every month instead of just five a year
Bottom line, Bischoff was fan who became the boss wether by hook or crook he became a legend by reacting to the WWF. Timing really was everything and those of us who lived through the MNW were greatful Bischoff was at the right place, right time.
And he gave lots of attention to lucha and new Japan talents more than any other territories and even in the NWO era's heyday he still gave all of them guys work and angles, even some of their matches got the most pops on the ppvs
Because of what bischoff was doing in the mid-90s I started watching wrestling again... I stopped watching wrestling around 1990 because the WWF got too silly
Unfortunately things no longer work like that. You cant just work your way up to positions like executive producer now. Experience is valued over education, and getting your foot in the door just to get the exp is like pulling teeth. I wish i was in my 20s in the 80s/90s...
Eric bischoff: I wanted WCW to be more reality based Also Eric bischoff let's have the dungeon of doom, the shark, disco inferno, and the Glacier on TV every week
Cannot stand Bischoff but credit where credit is due, he did change the face of wrestling and brought it into the 90's really well. He reminds me of a corporate version of the Ultimate Warrior, shot to the top at a great speed but ending up a flash in a pan that would never reach those heights again. Really enjoyed this though as always, the content is just spot on
One interesting thing people need to know about Eric Bischoff is that the man has no College degree. But when you look at his resume, it's pretty impressive for someone who's a one trick pony imo. I'm not a huge fan of the him but the fact that he became the only man to really take it to Vince McMahon is an accomplishment in of itself. Because of that, all I can say is this. *College is Overrated.*
How is he a one trick pony? He changed the tone of the wreslting world Nwo Cruiserweights Goldberg Crow sting 1994 to 1998 were the most successful wcw years And eric was the guy responsible for it Best gm of raw ever
I remember that show! Thunder in Paradise! Do a video on that if you haven’t. I know it’s not wrestling but it has Hulk Hogan and all that cheesy goodness of a 90’s show.
Anyone else used to think it was weird when Bischoff & Hollywood would make their NWO entrance? They would stop in the entrance way & Hogan would grab Bischoff by his chin the top & his head & kiss him on the cheek & say the camera “I love this man” 🤔
i an only imagine an alternate reality where WCW didnt have the problems it had and beat WWF or they still coexisted as competing brands. wish this was covered in a video game or something
I gotta admit I still find myself singing IM BACK AND BETTER THAN EVER GOT A KNACK FOR MAKING THINGS BETTER FACE FACTS CUZ YOUR OPINION DONT MATTER! 💛 #83weeks gotta love Easy E
They can't. Vince McMahon owns everything related to WCW. The only way it could come back is if he brought it back. And hope to God he doesn't because it will suck ass like his own promotion does now.

Hi. I love this channel. All your stuff is awesome. However I wish you would do more awa and nwa stuff. And smoky mountain. I think the rock and roll express and the midnight express and Jim Cornette are deserving. And so many others. Harley race, wahoo McDaniel, nick bockwinkle, and so on. And you should do a managers bio. Captain Lou, Fred brassie, grand wizard, and so on. Seems like your stuck in the 80s and 90s. Anyway love what you do and hope you consider my thoughts.
Eric is the only man I think that will ever say he beat Vince at his own game for awhile. It may happen again but it will take something major to happen.
Bischoffs was a GD genius in many ways. Let's not forget ppl.... Albert Einstein needed help tying his own FN shoes. Ok ? Bischoff was extremely smart in many areas. But yes..... He ultimately "dropped the ball" and "couldn't tie his shoes" in the pro wrestling business.
I loved wrestling as a kid, but I was all WWF. WCW production and camera quality just seemed whack to me. So when WWF caught steam along with their better production quality it was a wrap.
I was lucky enough to experience the Monday Night Wars in real time.what a time.
The BEST time
i always had to work monday nights so i would come home and catch replays later in the night and flip back and forth
Wish I could say the same!
Or old enough
Greatest time to be a wrestling fan
Monday Night Wars: Putting off your homework to sit around and flip between USA and TNT for a few hours while eating snacks. Loved them both at the time.
You bet wish you can be apart of it turn back time
242 and 245 haha good times!
I genuinely feel for wrestling fans not born to see the Monday Night Wars. Professional Wrestling will never reach that level again.
liquidgeorge maybe now with AEW on the rise and. Starting next week we might get to experience a new version of it. (But nothing like the original.)
Oh a totally agree I truly miss the attitude era!! Stone cold the rock and the undertaker were amazing of course the game & Dx #theywerethedays
What a time to be a fan I loved it I was a fan of both WCW and WWE it was great going into my school after Monday talking bout both and who would jump from either company
I do agree
If you missed from late 70s to early 90s that was the best era ever
WCW's midcard was unstoppable. If they had promoted the midcard more, the WWE might have been on the getting bought end rather than WCW.
The problem with wcw was that the title changed hands way to often. It seemed like every week there was a new heavyweight champ.
@@pezpowerproductions2602 that was a thing in WWE(or f at the time) as well tho. If your not a fan of a lot of title changes(like myself) Really an issue with the whole attitude era as a whole.
@@pezpowerproductions2602 that was only in 2000
I don't know the monday night war would've lasted longer than 6 years for sure, if the midcard was pushed a bit more. WWF at the time was amazing TV it would've made monday night hard to not watch both companies.
I remember switching on both channels during commercial breaks just to watch which match was more interesting. Sometimes I record them and then watching it later.
Fred Higginbottom yeah me too! 😆
Greatest night on both shows was they both had steel cage matches
i was always stuck working monday nights so i had to watch the replays later in the night
Picture in picture was a beautiful thing on monday nights
I asked for a VCR for Christmas one year just so I can record one while watching the other one
He’s a genius
I wish we could’ve seen what he would’ve done with WCW if got control in 2001
Great he's back on wwe Smackdown
They fired him again
Chuck Shakur well that didn’t last long lol. The guy above you commented two months prior!!
See Nwo Souled out

Ryan McDonald ...since he has come out he drops a gem of knowledge
Even though a lot of people don't like Eric Bischoff we have to appreciate that he's the main reason that Vince McMahon had to change
Exactly!
They both suck
love him or hate him ya gotta give the man credit
The Beatdown Crew there’s no reason not to like Eric
@@derek-64 Eric's issue was he should of not gave Hogan all the pull towards the end and listened to Sting and Russo

The Monday night wars brought the best out of Vince McMahon and Eric Bischoff
A reminder to those who criticized Bischoff for gaining fame thru former WWE talent. Vince built his WWF thru raiding other prosperous Wrestling territories during the 80's.
Chevar Coleman Vince maybe the one to end the territory days
@@brandonjacobs2373 Vince was definitely the one who ended the territory days. For whatever reason, they all caved instead of banding together, and fighting back.
True
American Made they did band together but couldn’t put their own personal agendas aside so failed.
American Made I believe there was talk of a union. But Vince squashes that real quick.

He did way better than Vince Russo. That’s for sure.

You should do a long video each month on the guys that deserve it . Hulk Andre etc the legends... a legends series
I loved the old episodes in Disney. And he was right about doing the opposite of WWE was what made notro soooo awesome

This channel and OSW Review are the best 2 wrestling channels. And it’s not even close.
I love how Minnesota had a massive connection to wrestling.
Those dying AWA days were sad to see I grew up on it and missed those Glory days of crusher Baron mad dog the bruiser Jessie Hennan even Hogan
Me and my brothers couldn't wait to watch wrestling every Monday nights growing up. We watched both WCW and WWE.
It’s a shame Eric was too much of a “Yes man” to Hogan. If he had been willing to shoot down some of the ideas Hogan was trying to do and even let Hogan go by the end of 1997, he may had made better decisions.
Absolutely love your videos bro. Ran across them last week and I’ve already watched almost all your videos. Keep it up!

Can you do a video on Bischoff's Fall in WCW
He did in that same video.
"You either die a hero or live long enough to become a villian"
It was an amazing time. Flipping back and forth between USA and TNT made Monday my the best night of the week
That’s exactly what I did every Monday night.

Will we ever get a benoit video thanks
We need it!
I hated that he became one of the guys meaning the NWO he pretty much lost control of his own show after that
Thanks for the good summary.
I love your videos and doing Bischoff was a great idea
No homework was getting done during Monday nights
Nickelodeon cartoons, Nintendo 64, & Monday night wars! What a time to be alive!
Aww, the flipping back and forth on monday night, the fighting on which match to watch lol, good times
Thank you sir for all your hard work I enjoy everything you have done

They can't. Vince McMahon owns everything related to WCW. The only way it could come back is if he brought it back. And hope to God he doesn't because it will suck ass like his own promotion does now.

SOME BEFORE MY TIME BUT BEING BORN IN 1986 AND ATTENDING MY FIRST LIVE WRESTLING EVENT IN '92 A WWF SHOW IN THE CINCINNATI GARDENS, I BASICALLY WAS A HUGE FAN FROM MY FIRST MEMORIES AND OTHER THEN MY FATHER MY FIRST REAL LIFE SUPER HERO'S WERE PRO WRESTLERS ( AND AT A WONDERFUL TIME , HOGAN AND HULKAMANIA WAS AROUND IT'S PEAK) SO GUYS LIKE HOGAN , MACHO MAN , WARRIOR, JAKE THE SNAKE ,MR PERFECT , L.O.D. , DEMOLITION , THE ROCKERS AND MANY OTHER WRESTLERS. MY FAVORITE BIO OR RESEARCH TO DO IS ON WRESTLERS FROM THIS TIME PERIOD . 1990- 1998 UP TO 2000 , BRETT HART, UNDERTAKER, SHAWN MICHAELS, THE ROCK , MIC FOLEY ( MAYBE THE MOST INCREDIBLE AND FASCINATING WRESTLER OF ALL TIME ) THE ROCK AND MAYBE THE BIGGEST DRAW MY FAVORITE EVER STEVE AUSTIN. I KNOW THE AMOUNT OF MONEY , TIME AND RESEARCH THAT GOES INTO MAKING WELL THOUGHT OUT BIO' S/ DOCS ON WRESTLERS ( EXP WRESTLERS FROM THE KAY FABE TIMES ) AND I DON'T EVEN PRODUCE YOU TUBE CONTENT TO GO ALONG WITH THE INFORMATION I'VE OBTAINED AND STRATIGIC WAY I'VE WRITTEN AND PUBLISHED BIOS AND DOC'S. I ONCE HAD THE MIS FORTUNE OF COMING INTO CONTACT WITH TAMMY SYNTCH ( A.K.A.) SUNNY IN THE EARLY TO MID 2000'S WHO WANTED TO DO ON CAMERA INTERVIEW AS WELL AS HELP ME WITH RE SEARCH INTO DOCS FOR BRETT HART AND SHAWN ( MAINLY BASED AROUND THERE ENTIRE FUED , AS I REACHED OUT TO BOTH OF THEM OR AT LEAST THERE MANAGEMENT TEAM TO NEVER HEAR BACK FROM BRETT OR HIS PEOPLE, AND SHAWN MICHAELS PEOPLE TELLING ME IT WAS THE PAST AND HE WAS NOT INTERESTED IN HELPING ME WITH ANY INFORMATION OR INTERVIEWS PERTAINING HIM, HIS CAREER OR BRETT HART. ) SUNNY WANTED 15 THOUSAND DOLLARS FOR BEHIND THE SCENE INFORMATION NOT KNOWN TO THE PUBLIC , I DIDN'T HAVE THAT TO INVEST INTO THE ENTIRE DOC LET ALONE 3 HOURS OF INFO AND INTERVIEW FROM SUNNY WHO IS A ADMITTED LIER ON THE ENTIRE SUBJECT. I RESPECT AND ENJOY YOUR CONTENT AND RESPECT IT ON A LEVEL NOT MANY CAN KNOWING THE INCREDABLE AMOUNT OF TIME AND WORK THAT GOES INTO PRODUCING GREAT CONTENT
Hi. I love this channel. All your stuff is awesome. However I wish you would do more awa and nwa stuff. And smoky mountain. I think the rock and roll express and the midnight express and Jim Cornette are deserving. And so many others. Harley race, wahoo McDaniel, nick bockwinkle, and so on. And you should do a managers bio. Captain Lou, Fred brassie, grand wizard, and so on. Seems like your stuck in the 80s and 90s. Anyway love what you do and hope you consider my thoughts.
Eric is the only man I think that will ever say he beat Vince at his own game for awhile. It may happen again but it will take something major to happen.
Bischoffs was a GD genius in many ways.
Let's not forget ppl.... Albert Einstein needed help tying his own FN shoes. Ok ?
Bischoff was extremely smart in many areas.
But yes..... He ultimately "dropped the ball" and "couldn't tie his shoes" in the pro wrestling business.
He Always Looks Angry 😠
nWo Bischoff 4Lyfe 🤘🏻
Another Fantastic Video!
I loved wrestling as a kid, but I was all WWF. WCW production and camera quality just seemed whack to me. So when WWF caught steam along with their better production quality it was a wrap.
